What happens here

To begin, ensure that the faceplates are removed from the electrical outlet or light switch you intend to mask. Take a Socket Blocker and carefully peel off the protective backing from its double-sided adhesive tape. Align the Socket Blocker precisely over the electrical component (first an electrical outlet, then a light switch is shown) and press firmly to secure it in place. The blocker should completely cover the opening, effectively protecting the internal wiring and contacts from paint.

Goal: Demonstrates applying Socket Blockers to both an electrical outlet and a light switch by peeling off the adhesive backing and pressing the blocker onto the exposed electrical component.
